[keep_smiling]

Date & Time: April 1
Location: the marketplace
Characters: Elmer C. Albatross and hopefully lots of you!
Summary: Celebrating April Fools day, classic film style.
Warnings: Fake cream pies to the face, Elmer being Elmer

[There's a commotion down at the marketplace today. Some people are yelling, or laughing, some are running away. As you get closer, there's stuff being thrown all over the place. Is that... pie? Cream pie? Wait, no. Don't eat that. Upon closer inspection, that's actually shaving cream. Elmer's no baker anyway, and that'd be a colossal waste of food! That's no good.

Somehow, he managed to make scores of these fake cream pies, dragged them down to the marketplace area, and started throwing them at folks. Most ran off or cursed him out, but some have gotten into the action, and now the stuff is everywhere. There's a table that still has some left if you want to start whipping projectiles at the crowds, or you can just scoop the stuff from practically anything around you.

And if you're just standing there gawking, you better look out, because a certain smiling blonde will have his sights set on you. Better duck fast!]

Happy April Fools!

Eugh, no kidding..!

[But her words are blurred because her tongue actually burns a bit. For a moment she's desperate enough to cup out her hands, hoping to collect enough rain for a helping of water, but it's no use. She leaves Elmer for nearest trashcan to spit out the taste.]

[A few moments later, he calls out to Asami.] Oi! Catch!

[And tossed in her direction is a bottle of juice. Hopefully that helps. A shaving cream-covered Elmer grins and waves before darting off to get back in the fight.]

[chittybang]

[Asami catches the juice, takes a moment to frown at it, and succumbs to rinsing her mouth with liquid sugar. Basically all of this feels like a good omen to go the heck home and hole up for the day, so she walks away.

Errands can wait until tomorrow.]

[keep_smiling]

[She's getting called after again.] You're leaving already? But we're just getting started!

[chittybang]

[Asami turns around again, considering.

And who knows, maybe throwing a shaving cream pie could relieve some of this stress. So she gives in with a shrug of a shoulder.]

Alright. One pie.

[keep_smiling]

[That grin comes back to his face, bigger than ever. He grabs one and runs it over to her, even.]

Your ammunition, milady!

[chittybang]

[She has to admit, his enthusiasm is a little contagious. She chuckles quietly despite herself and takes it in both hands.]

Alright. Now you might want to start running in the opposite direction.

[And she winks deviously at him.]

[keep_smiling]

[He figured this was coming, but considering he's already covered in shaving cream, what's one more? Grinning, he turns to run, but he doesn't make it too far. Elmer's own lack of coordination combined with a slick ground causes him to slip after a few feet, and he falls backward, hitting the ground.]

Uh oh.

[chittybang]

[Asami winds up an arm to throw the pie right at him where he sits, but it looks like she's in competition for her target. A leg lunges right beside him as she throws the pie hard and fast at another's face, a satisfactory smirk in place.

Her victim is a bit worse for wear, but he'll be fine. She extends a hand to help up Elmer.]

Here. I couldn't let him take my target.

[keep_smiling]

[Elmer grins ear to ear, laughing, as he takes Asami's hand and hauls himself up.] Ha! You had me, there! Excellent!
